Those left to cherish Caylub's memory are his mother, Brandee Wilson; two brothers, Jeremy Wilson, and Jackson Cash Hall; one sister, Mattee Leigh Wilson; two aunts, Sarah Wilson, and Penny Leonard; and many loving cousins, family members, and friends.

The family would like to say a special "Thank You" to Team 421 Motorcycle Group.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date to celebrate Caylub's life.
